Full Bladder

From our very first pig butcher day, two and a half years ago, Mary Catherine has wanted to get her little county-fied hands on a pig bladder. The reason is Laura Ingles. In the first Little House book she and her sister bat around the bladder that Pa has blown up for them. What fun!
Last week was another butcher day--at the Ecce Veritas farm. The girls asked the abatoir, and pormptly received two bladders. With the help of a straw they were inflated. Dry and leathery--Bladders are indeed fun to "bat around"!
